It always makes me laught how quickly the trends among the fashion bloggers come and go, when people not addicted to taking over-styled Instagram pictures still treat those things as new. Let just focus on my favourite trend of the past summer - lace-up shoes, tops, basically anything with this little tied up detail. Throughout the summer I was observing all the girls wearing those popular sandals but couldn't force myself to head to Oxford Street and buy some for myself. Finally I ended up purchasing them online & I can't remember being THAT excited about any new shoes (and these are the things I buy the most - I mean, all the girls are cray-zay about the shoes, aren't you?). I felt like, meh, again I'm, the last one wearing something but all my friends went like ' woah, these shoes are insane'. I love it how they match my top, which is the perfect idea for me being lazy in colder part of the year (recently I've developped an addiction to wearing boyfriend jeans and white tops, believe, I'm becoming minimalistic, lol!) and makes the outfit more interesting. Do you like to play it laced-up?

I've got a proclivity to treating clothes like souvenires - I can buy a piece of clothing and then just be happy seeing it hanging in my warderobe, not even wearing it once. Since I've tried changing my approach to clothes after reading some smart-ey stuff this summer, I know I shouldn't do so. However, the skirt I'm wearing on the pictures has been hanging in my closet for a year now, it'd been sew especially for my mid-prom and I just didn't have a proper occasion to wear it ever since then. Few days ago when I was planning the new photoshoots for the blog, I decided to use it finally, it goes so extravagant with casual sneakers and that simple T-shirt, doesn't it?

Talking about the T-shirt, I just love how simple and cheeky it is at the same moment. Imagine my friends' reactions throughout the day when I went to school wearing it, haha! I think I really have changed my style, now I'm more into rebellious & young-ish touch in my looks, I like playing it strange and cool, not necessarily behaving as people expect me to. Eye contact is a project of two polish girls, who set up a well-known streetstyle brand few years ago, Katarzyna Kotnowska i Natalia Maczek. This is the best thing about wearing the top, knowing that iw's been created in Poland, by young, talented people, running successfully their business. Imma so proud!

Overwhelmed with all the bday wishes I received today, I'm just sharing the pictures my brother shot yeasterday near my home. Fields, which I (haven't) missed while in London, new glasses, my granny's dress loking almost like from Hedi Slimane's fashionshow and me, being not young anymore. Huge thanks to all the people who made this day special! #KardiseTurns18

There were some places in London I would go every time I had an opportunity (read: chose it over dating books in my bed) and one of them was definetely area of Brick Lane and Shoreditch. I adored harsh buildings, colourful and dirty walls where you could feel the vibe of freedom, being young, just meeting strangers on the streets that would start talking to you since you had an inner connection - you all were artistic, fresh minds lost somewhere in between damaged factory and hidden cafe.

What I'm wearing on the pictures is the ideal set I've always imagined London-ish style like : 90's, being adventurous and edgy, mini skirts, cartoon prints, just Spice-Girls-Wannabe (inside joke hehe). When we wandered around the coolest vintage shops in there with my friend, we spotted a H&M pop-up store, which organized some treats for people at the time, including free ginger beer and fake tatoos. I couldn't get more excited so I even put some golden and silver patterns on my face. Anyway, I hope you'll like the last outfit photoshoot I have from London and have a lovely Sunday y'all xx

It feels so good. A bit strange at the same moment, but definetely good. To sleep in my own bed again, to see the faces of people I love, to go for a run in the forest I know every path in. I feel like I've experienced something completely magical, being able to live my own life so far away from home, being still only 17. I worked. I laughed. I cried. I met people, saw so much, felt the ambience of the city I've always dreamed of. After my comeback I took the opportunity to enjoy the last moments before my senior year at high school, that's why I didn't talk to you for such a long time. However, still being unpacked and going through "I-wanna-come-back" depression, I finally sat down to edit my favourite pictures from London ever. We took them in beautiful Kensington area, where cute Notting Hill houses slowly start to turn into posh white villas. I went for the look I absolutely adore - midi skirt & fish-net top, both bought in Banana Republic, when I went to see exhibitions in Saatchi Gallery and decided to splurge a lil bit of money in Sloane Square cosy shopping area. I hope you'll enjoy the pictures as much as I do & see you soon on da blog, keep your fingers crossed for me to survive at school haha xx
